Arsenal whiz Emile Smith Rowe insists he never thinks about past rejection by Chelsea.
The 20 year-old was rejected by the Blues as a youngster due to his height.
But Smith Rowe was keen to put this in the past as he focused on the 'character' shown by the Gunners to grind out three points this week against the Blues.
"That's the past, I'm focused on Arsenal and they're my club," he said regarding being turned down by Chelsea.
"I'm so tired. I feel like the team played well today, we had to dig deep and we played well today.
"It shows our character, shows the heart we have. We defended really well in patches and after the tough season, it was a good performance from us today."
